<p>Throwing out another option: it seems that at least
Europe/Zaporozhye came directly from Shanks with no corroboration,
and at least one of my Ukrainian colleagues expressed some
skepticism that these regions even have a distinct time zone
history, see this previous thread:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2018-June/026562.html">https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2018-June/026562.html</a><br>
<br>
I don't think we ever got any corroboration on the validity of
these data. I certainly could never find anything about it. I seem
to recall Andrew Paprocki filed some sort of freedom of
information act request with the CIA for clarification, but I
don't recall anything ever coming from that. If these are "phantom
zones" we can quite possibly moot the question by merging them
into Europe/Kyiv.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello everybody.<br>
As a native Ukrainian speaker, I do agree that
"Europe/Uzhhorod" and "Europe/Zaporizhzhia" do have a more
correct version of transliteration compared to
"Europe/Uzhgorod" and "Europe/Zaporozhye".<br>
On the other hand, to my knowledge, Ukraine does not actively
use these timezones, as every town in Ukraine has the same UTC
offset, which is determined by the "Europe/Kyiv" timezone
(formerly, "Europe/Kiev").<br>
So in my opinion, these changes, while important, are not so
urgent to be made.<br>
<br>
Regarding Philip Paeps's comment about "the current conflict"
- I believe that this is not a correct term that should be for
the situation that has been happening between Ukraine and
Russian Federation lately.<br>
I do think that besides Ukraine, almost every country has
qualified this as Russo-Ukrainian War.<br>

Thanks for (finally) making this change!<br>
<br>
I would suggest some minor changes to the commentary
though. Referring <br>
to "the current conflict" will not age well. Words like
"traditional" <br>
and "popular" have unhelpful connotations which the word
"common" neatly <br>
avoids.<br>
<br>
I also wonder if it wouldn't be less disruptive to our users
to take <br>
this opportunity to also rename Europe/Uzhgorod and
Europe/Zaporozhye to <br>
Europe/Uzhhorod and Europe/Zaporizhzhia at the same time...<br>
